Neighbors Rescue Elderly Woman From Burning House

My photographer and I drove all the way to Lakeland (Memphis suburb) for a story we hoped to turn for 10:00. But the woman we aimed to interview wasn't home. Fortunately, another photographer had been dispatched to a house fire around the same time. He got great interviews from neighbors.. Including those who helped save an elderly woman from the burning house. And Chopper 5 got great video of the house going up in flames. So, I put these elements together for a story. We went live from the neighborhood.. Where firefighters and others remained at 10:00.
